Someone explain to me how this even happens, how many people were really still gaming on PSP at this time??


Loads.

Exact same thing is happening with PS3 vs. PS4 now.  And will continue to happen if there is a transition into next generation, I'd have thought.

It's a shame, but publishers care more about making money than pushing a console's hardware sales.  And so they should, really.

If anything, the Vita's slow climb to relevance only solidifies this.  It justifies that they can ignore a console for the first few years and only support it with multi-plats and ports, and it will eventually reach a level of decent sales.

 

As a side note, I wish stuff like Digimon; Shining Blade/Ark; Digimon; Yakuza; Tales of Heroes; Sword Art; 7th Dragon & Fate/Extra had come to Vita.  All stuff I've contemplated importing at various points, but would much rather have been importing for Vita.  And those titles would've really helped it in its first few years, too.

At least it's finally "here" now.  Although these kind of mid-range titles are still quite lacking from the system, aside from a few Tales ports and the new Digimon/SAO games.
